Somerset & Mendip Motorcycle Training

Fantastic experience: I took my CBT with Shane Randel at Somerset and Mendip motorcycle training today and the training that I received was top notch. He was informative, friendly , helpful and funny . He also got me ready for my first ride on the road and made sure I was safe and comfortable for the whole ride. Many thanks to Somerset and Mendip motorcycle training for helping me pass my CBT .

Fantastic experience: I would just like to say a huge thank you to Somerset and Mendip Motorcycle Training. To Kelly for her organisation and jiggery pokery in fitting in my Mod 1 and Mod 2 before I ran out of time, to both Pete and Neil for getting me through my Mod 1 and Mod 2 respectively. I was very nervous and lacking confidence but Pete settled my nerves and made it an enjoyable experience and Neil built my confidence to see me pass first time. I can't thank them both enough. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of doing their motorcycle training to contact Somerset and Mendip Motorcycle Training they were very professional, friendly and I will definitely go back to do any further training. Thank you all

Fantastic experience: Had Chris as my instructor and he was brilliant despite a shaky start from me, calm and collected advice and instruction got me through my CBT. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of taking their CBT.

Fantastic experience: Although I didn’t complete the cbt course today due to my lack of confidence and zero riding experience before today, I left feeling a hell of a lot more confident in my riding. I cannot thank Shane enough for being a fantastic instructor, he was really encouraging, made me feel more at ease within the first hour, it was bit like learning to ride with a mate. Brilliant instructor in a really good location. Genuinely looking forward to going back and coming away with more experience and knowledge. Thanks again Shane!

Fantastic experience: I would like to say a massive thank your to Shane for making my day absolutely wonderful thank you Shane for making me pass and teaching me how to ride top man also highly recommend Somerset Mendip motorcycle training thank you again Shane for an amazing wonderful day couldn’t thank you enough top man on a really hot day I smashed it thank you so much finally get my own freedom

Fantastic experience: I was a bit reluctant to go to begin work as our was early hours on Sunday morning. But I’m so glad I went for my CBT test. We had Chris as our instructor and examiner.. My God he was amazing.. He knew every detail about a bike and how each and every mechanism works.. he is a motor bike genius I have to say.. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and Chris gave attention to detail about everything To make sure we are road safe for us and for others.. I would recommend anyone to take this course with these guys

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing day out with instructor Rob. Very understanding and took the time to help us with areas we were struggling at. Would 100% come back here for my full licence.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant day, did cbt here, Chris the instructor was brilliant, recommend 100% for your cbt

Fantastic experience: Adrian is absolutely amazing! Will request for my DAS training.

Fantastic experience: Really great experience that has helped me fulfil a long held ambition to learn to ride a geared bike. Fantastic customer service from Kelly who took time to understand my needs - a nervous, late starter with no experience of riding a geared bike - before she helped me book some tailored sessions to build my confidence. Always responsive, sent messages, generally made it easy to communicate and to find times that I could fit lessons around work. Neil's patient, reassuring and good humoured approach was just what I needed. He let me go at my own pace whilst encouraging and reassuring me. Neil's instruction quickly gave me the confidence that I could master basic controls, riding technique and get out on the road safely to build more experience. The Honda bike I learned on was great as was all the safety gear provided. Really enjoyed my lessons and riding and I can't recommend these guys enough!

Fantastic experience: Thanks Shane for an amazing day doing my cbt. Had good fun. Such a good instructor. ☺️

Fantastic experience: Shane is very nice guy and i had very good training day... Will be back for mod1 there

Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience. Shana was my riding instructor. He was very friendly and humble. Explained me many things which I didn't knew before. He also made me a more cautious rider. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, Rob was awesome, couldn't ask for a better instructor. thank you

Negative experience: Obviously the owners have posted the previous reviews. There is no training whatsoever, just a test. They are determined to fail candidates for the retest fees.

Fantastic experience: Great Instructors! Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Very well knoladge and very relaxed atmosphere which calms any nerves you may have. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Me and the boy did our CBT today in Wells. Peter and Sue took us. Abosolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Great learning style. For those in the know this was brain friendly, sequential and ticked all the boxes. Thank you very much. We will be back for our full licence training. Ian and Ollie.

Negative experience: Went here for my first cbt for a 125cc motorbike. Training started well with the instructor being helpful. Then me and another person training were told to go sit down for a bit while the instructor trained 3 other people on breaking because there wasn't enough space for all of us. (there were 5 of us). We were sat there for 2 and a half hours maybe longer. 2 hours in which we could've practised. There was another instructor on sight but he spent most of the time fixing bikes rather than helping us learn. It was finally mine and the other guys time to train while the main instructor went out on the road with 2 others. The other instructor set us off on a task and then went back to fixing the bikes, stood and watched for a couple mins, gave a pointer or 2, then went back to fixing some bikes rather than standing and watching us to tell us how to improve. Felt like me and the other guys were pushed aside because we essentially had the least experience and had to improve the most. Feels like they just wanted to get more money out of us rather than actually help pass us because it was to much effort for them. Waste of money and wont be going back for my next cbt.

Fantastic experience: Really cant rate them enough! After a knock to my confidence I came to Den and Neil to start again, they were amazing!! Wevwent back to basics building my confidence and making it fun! Cant thank them enough for getting me through my tests first time would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Found the instructor easy to get along with and liked his teaching style

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic day. First time on a 125cc Motorcycle within a couple of hours Den had me riding a 600cc monster. Would have paid just for the fun I had, let alone the instruction I received. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Wow! Turned up nervous having not ridden a scooter for over 30 yrs. Den was amazing and by the time we went out on the road I was loving it! Planning on going back and booking my test.... fabulous experience!

Fantastic experience: A relaxed environment to put students at ease but my instructor, Den, was also very knowledgeable and informative and made sure we were safe on the roads. I had a great day and can't fault the teaching and professionalism. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great day. Really patient with everyone. Good relaxed experience and great training experience.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff i passed my cbt over a month ago and im ready to do my next step ans i will for sure be doing it with the some great team again

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience, Den is an amazingly friendly and patient instructor.

Fantastic experience: Great day learning how to ride in total safety, the trainer was very knowledgeable and friendly and made learning a pleasurable great experience. Would most definitely recommend to anyone and most probably will be back here for my full licence. Thanks Den!

Fantastic experience: Great place to go, not only is it excellent teaching, but the ride out is beautiful through the Mendips. Den is a 'top' teacher, gave me the confidence I needed: if he got me going (zero experience) he will get anyone through! Will be back soon to continue through to full licence. Toad & Brutal.

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and extremely knowledgeable throw in some jokes and makes a great day/experience

Fantastic experience: Can't praise enough. Den was fantastic, relaxed me and enabled me to be my best. Reccomend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Started off my training with den, after not having a bike since 16 i had to start all over. CBT with den was a good day, good explanations and relaxed. Then did my further training with neil, Mod 1 and Mod 2 and passed first time, his quality standard of teaching, good attitude and passionate mind really helped me understand the attitude i required to be good and safe on the road and make it through test first time. Kelly in the office was helpful when booking in my dates to get me in over the shortest time. Brilliant business and group of lads and ladies! Well recommended.

Fantastic experience: Patient, reasonable, well equipped and has a great sense of humour. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Den Fowler was an excellent bike instructor, who enabled three novice bikers to easily learn all the necessary biking skills needed. The calm, measured instruction of Den will enable absolutely anybody to learn the basics, acquiring a confidence that will keep them safely biking for a long time. I cannot praise the experience Den gave us enough. We had a brilliant time with him, learning as well as having a great deal of fun (loads of laughs throughout) If you want to pass your CBT then take this course with Den Fowler, definitely a 10/10

Fantastic experience: Great day. Excellent instructor.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor. I had NO experience with bikes, but Dennis (my instructor) talked me through everything and put me at ease. I passed my CBT on a 125cc geared bike. Could not of asked for anything more.

Fantastic experience: Great company, would highly recommend den the instructor very patient and helpful

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor! Would Recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I passed first time despite the usual nerves and anxieties! Neil the instructor was very laid back and made the whole thing fun and relaxing. Don't doubt the quality of the instruction you will receive. The calm and extremely well crafted tuition was at a very experienced level. Just the right comment at the right time, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the test and the test area.. He nailed the route and that made all the difference. He made it look easy! But, it is a polished act.

Fantastic experience: What a great company! Easy from start to finish. A special thanks to Den, what a great teacher! Restored all my confidence. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT first time recommend going there very friendly. Has aloud me to feel confident on the roads thanks to Den especially had a amazing day

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Good approach to training and very helpful. Made to feel relaxed. Passed mod 1 and 2 first time.

Fantastic experience: I would like to say a massive thank you to Neil for mod 1 & mod 2 training & for helping me pass both test first time. Very friendly & a great teacher. I would recommend to anyone, can't thank you enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainer. Was a really helpful person. I was able to pass my cbt first time. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can't praise this company highly enough. By the time I got to them I had almost given up and my confidence was practically rock bottom. I'm short and not that strong and had been told by other schools to basically stay away from the big bikes as they weren't for me. With some innovative techniques, reassurance and lots of banter along the way .... I passed my test and got my full licence! They achieved what no-one else could. Female riders are in the minority and quite often patronised by other schools, even those with female instructors!! If you have had a similar experience to me, don't give up, give these guys a call and you won't look back I promise!!

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT test a month ago & it really helped me with my confidence & general handling of the bike. Excellent trainer, great tips & overall a fun day! Highly recommended A+++++

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, passed my CBT first time
